Okay Bismillah Rama Rama hamdulillah salat wa salam ala Rasulillah to be honest with you, I stopped answering this question long time ago because I believe that those brothers who say that attending demonstrations is not allowed they are just copying some scholars who are talking about the rulings of demonstrations from a particular perspective and the particular background and they are living in in regimes in within regimes that within oppressive regimes that do not allow anyone to oppose the

00:00:40--> 00:01:14

regime or to even enjoying the good and forbidding the evil and I believe that they just have a loud noise and they just want Muslims to be passive people okay, let alone that they some of them they have different agendas actually. So either they have different agendas Okay, or bad agendas, evil agendas or they are too simple simplistic in their approach of understanding Islam.

00:01:15--> 00:01:25

This is one thing however as we were asked this question, let me elaborate more on that now my dear brothers and sisters you know

00:01:27--> 00:01:31

the actions of a human beings are divided into two types

00:01:32--> 00:02:17

actions where you worship Allah de la isla okay that a Baghdad okay. And these are certain listed a that that were heavily regulated by Sharia. Okay. And there are other Ibaadat that are general and that are not regulated heavily by Sharia. But Allah, Allah Allah gave us just outlines guidelines, broad guidelines, okay. Now this type of a bad day at the school as you classify them as the bad and the others, although they are a badass, but the scholars call them as more armella. Okay, such as

00:02:17--> 00:02:57

buying selling, okay, such as organizing your country, such as political activism, all of these are what are rebar that in the general term, and Sharia I gave very wide guidelines for them, such as don't commit injustice. This is the main guideline and don't cause for set. Yeah, these are the two main guidelines don't commit injustice and don't spread evil, corruption and don't don't cause people to go away from Allah Delana Okay.

00:02:58--> 00:03:11

Apart from this, okay, if any activity is free from injustice, from will and the free from spreading evil, okay, it is allowed.

00:03:12--> 00:03:52

All its colors agreed on this. Yeah, all its colors. Why? Because Allah Allah, Allah Allah when he spoke about toa H he said, well in the Mahara Mara bellflower, HML Bahar Amina OMA bourbon well if no WB Riley did have one to shoot you could be lucky madam Unison but his whole partner so he listed what was excluded. Okay, which means that the general form Yeah, is the permissibility. Okay. And I know he and others quoted the consensus of the scholars on this matter Yeah, that the original

00:03:52--> 00:04:35

principle Okay, in matters that are not considered to be from the listed a Baghdad Salah see Zeca had and some elements of vicar. Yeah. They call them the mandate. They are the original principle that they are permissible except if there is a delay to say that they are not permissible. And the main reasons for them to become impermissible is what injustice and the spreading evil. Okay, so, the political activism, including going for marches

00:04:36--> 00:04:59

is part of this. You don't ask, is it halal? Or haram? It is halal. If you have a proof that it is haram. You show it to us. Okay, and as we said, the main reason for it to become Haram is if this leads to injustice, or leads to facade, yeah, or evil things. If it doesn't lead to

00:05:00--> 00:05:17

either of these things then it is what it is permissible. Okay. Number one, number two, what are the demonstrations demonstrations is people are coming together they are asking for the changing the mooncup

00:05:19--> 00:05:23

Yeah, so, it is part of enjoying the good and forbidding the evil

00:05:24--> 00:05:53

What is it people are coming together to what to say this is haram we want you or leader or the government or whoever is in charge of it, you need to change it. So, in fact my dear brothers and sisters, Mother Herat demonstrations, vigil, all these types of activities. Yeah political activism, it can be seen as wajib

00:05:54--> 00:06:28

Yeah, it can be seen I believe that it is Why do okay. It is what? Compulsory, obligatory, why? Because this is a tool to enjoy the good and forbidding the evil. And it is one of the most effective tools to enjoy the good and forbid the evil. Okay, other tools are not as effective as those demonstrations and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Yeah, I mean common current value of a year obiettivo let me start

00:06:29--> 00:06:52

over because he oversees a monkey he should change it, okay by his hand, otherwise by his tongue, otherwise by his heart, and my dear brothers and sisters, we are an ummah of activism. Any Muslim please brothers and sisters, listen to this. The nature the very nature of this ummah is activism.

00:06:53--> 00:07:12

Okay, this OMA is not a passive Oma. Yeah, Allah, Allah Allah says quantum Hydra or mutton or curry deadliness da Moroni Rufio 10 Hona Anand mancha you are the best nation, race to mankind, taken and given to mankind. Why not because of our

00:07:14--> 00:07:51

limited understanding of Ayurveda, because of our activism, activism to do what to promote what is good, and to what D promote, or maybe resist or enjoin, Forbid, what is evil? So I said, What I said is that attending these marches can be part of our responsibility as Muslims. Yeah. Unfortunately, those who do not understand the bigger picture of Islam, they will look at Islam in from a very micro way. And that's why they cannot understand these things. That's why even myself, I started not

00:07:51--> 00:08:04

to give them any attention. Yeah, because they can't understand their minds are so narrow. Yeah. And they cannot understand the bigger picture and the nature of Islam. That is a nature of

00:08:05--> 00:08:24

a charismatic, active religion. Okay. Now, tomorrow, yes, there will be a demonstration. And they said, we hope that it will be the biggest demonstration. okay to ask for to demand for the fire to sorry for the the

00:08:26--> 00:08:58

to demand for a ceasefire. Yeah. And to demand for the aid to start going to Russia. Now it says, are you telling me that this is not something that we should call for and how to call for demonstration is one of the best ways to call for that? You can shout you can do whatever you can do within the legal framework because we don't want to do something that will jeopardize the demonstration.

00:09:13--> 00:09:18

Ronnie, yeah, carry
